To easily press the rice krispie mixture into your pan without it stringing all over and getting sticky, use a greased spatula/buttered spatula or add a little bit of water to your spatula.
Cooking spray or butter will work to grease the baking dish. You could also use parchment/wax paper to line the dish with for easy removal of the squares if preferred.
For chewier rice krispies, add more marshmallows!! Standard rice krispie recipes use about 5 cups.. this one uses 8 cups.
Make colourful rice krispies using food colouring. This is especially a great idea for special occasions! Think valentines day, the fourth of July, Canada day, and so many more fun holidays!
Consider swapping the cereal mixture to your favourite cereal! Some delicious options are fruity pebbles, cheerios, or make cocoa krispies.
